After months of summer workouts followed by a grueling fall camp, high school football players finally get an opportunity to show off their hard work under the lights tonight against someone wearing an opposing jersey.

Tough times were ahead for the Bronson football program at this time last year.

Despite coming off back-to-back non-losing seasons for the first time in 10 years, it was dealt a series of offseason blows, culminating in the departure of its head coach on the first day of football practice, that would lead to a 0-10 fall campaign.

The Red Devils entered this past week with a record of eight wins and eight losses but their record looked very different come April 1.

Big Red had three home games – two in conference and one out of conference and all ended with needed wins for the home team. At the end of the week Williston’s record was 11-8 with a conference best record of 8-1.
